The Cubs have come good!

All to play for tomorrow ... one curse will be over whilst the other will live on. 

Game 7's don't get any better than this one.

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scout. "This dog can speak English," he claims to the unimpressed agent. "Okay, Sport," the guys says to the dog, "what’s on the top of a house?" "Roo

To be honest I'm not much of an expert when it comes to the financial discrepancies that exist between different teams in the MLB. It amazes me that the Chicago Cubs can still be so profitable after s

I'm a 28 year Cubs fan and cannot wait for tomorrow. I haven't missed a Cubs post season game this year.

I'm taking half a day off work to go home, crack a beer and watch it! They just need to hit their way past Kluber!

GO CUBS!!!

Feels awful as a Tribe fan, especially losing to a team that spent $70 million more on its roster by 1 run in Game 7. Next year I suppose.

That was one hell of a series ... Cleveland fought hard but fell just short.  It's often a fine line between ultimate victory & despair.  Hopefully they'll get back to the big stage again sooner rather than later.

The story was always going to be centred around the Cubs though and they finally broke their curse.  To come back from a 3-1 deficit was a grand effort.  Kudos.

As Demons supporters, we know that feeling all too well. I'm happy that the Cubs won, but would really like to see a hard salary cap introduced into the MLB.

Yankees get through in the AL after defeating the Twins today ... next up for New York is Cleveland.  My lads (the Redsox) play Houston.  Best of 5 in the first phase can be over very quickly if the road team doesn't win 1 of the first 2 games (or vice-versa)

Over in the NL the Dodgers await the winner of the other wild-card playoff game (Colorado @ Arizona)  In the other DS match-up,  its the Cubs @ Washington.  

I favour the Dodgers,  Cubs,  Yankees & Boston to get through to the CS.  Well, that's my ideal set of match-ups anyway.

Nice start by the Tribe today. Back at it again tomorrow with Kluber on the mound.

Dodgers through to the WS and we await the result of the Houston/Yankees ALCS for their opponent.  The MLB would almost certainly prefer an LA vs NY match-up but Houston is the USA's 4th largest market. 

Game 6 in the ALCS and it's still scoreless (top of the 5th) ... the Yankees lead the series 3 - 2.  Sabathia throws for the Yankees tomorrow if it goes to game 7.

Interesting to see after ending a 86 year bambino curse in 2004 the Red Sox have now won 4 World Series in under 15 years making them the most successful baseball team in the 21st century 

Whilst not a huge baseball fan I’ve always had a soft spot for Boston as a team because of some the many similarities to the dees , notably the colours and also given their history and how they were waiting so long to end their drought of success for their die hard fans 

we can only hope the mighty demons can follow and once the drought ends , the floodgates might then open again

Well I'll take some sporting joy elsewhere anytime Dd82 ... the  Red Sox had a dominant season and were fully deserved victors.  I'm the first to admit that we have a salary cap advantage over many of our rivals but you've still got to get it done.

The curse of the babe is well and truly a thing of the past now.  Hopefully our Demons can break our own curse (if it exists!) sometime very soon.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
